I have a TM-22. Replaced spider gasket but i still get some weepage out backflow pipe when in filter mode. In addition, the handle which used to snap down vigorously into slot on filter head doesnt... Suspect weak spring... It is rusted ... L you agree.

Hi Don, Sounds right. A weak handle and weepage are good indicators of a damaged spring. Here is a link to our guide on " How To Replace a Pool Multiport Valve Spring"

will this spring fit SM-20-2 SERIAL # 293? we have water leaking from blue hose when in filter position. Do you think we need a new handle as well?

Hi Tammy, Yes this is the correct spring for the SM-20-2 valve. If you have water leaking out the backwash hose then it is typically the Spider Gasket and this Spring which will need to be replaced.

Hello,
Is this spring compatible with Pentair SM 20-3?
Thanks,
John
